I
have
been
frequenting
Bannatyne's
Millbank
for
over
15
years
initially
as
a
full
time
member
and
most
recently
as
someone
who
visits
London
to
see
family.
It
used
to
be
a
fantastic
club
with
enthusiastic,
helpful
staff
but
since
opening
(post-covid
financial
pains
I
suspect)
it's
an
unrecognisably
strange,
eerie
and
surreal
place.
Staff
are
incredibly
unhelpful
and
don't
seem
to
care
about
the
gym
or
the
members;
they're
just
perpetually
checked
out;
on
their
phones,
talking
to
each
other,
or
aimlessly
wandering
around.
No
one
is
ever
at
the
front
desk
to
see
people
in,
they'll
just
be
laughing
and
chatting
amongst
each
other
in
the
office.
Signing
up
for
a
day-pass
is
a
15
minute
process
which
is
incredibly
agonizing
when
you're
inputting
the
exact
same
profile
everyday.
If
you
join
for
just
a
month
you
have
to
sign
up
and
then
send
an
email
for
cancellation,
which
is
tedious
when
surely
someone
could
just
process
that
in
front
of
you?
Cleaning
staff
randomly
work
out
beside
you
during
your
exercises.
I've
never
experienced
that
in
a
gym
before,
in
retrospect
it
is
quite
amusing
but
in
the
moment
it
is
very
bizarre
and
frustrating
when
they
--
without
politely
asking
--
just
take
the
equipment
you're
using
and
exercise
themselves.
Don't
they
have
the
entire
day
to
workout?
There
was
one
member
who
would
not
only
stare
at
me
during
my
workout
everyday
but
join
in.
The
staff
also
claim
the
gym
closes
at
9pm
but
start
TURNING
OFF
EQUIPMENT
YOU'RE
USING
at
8:40pm
and
then
give
you
barbed
attitude
saying
we're
closed
if
you
politely
ask
for
more
time.
One
star
is
for
the
club
actually
maintaining
fantastic,
up
to
speed
equipment
and
weights,
which
is
the
minimum
you
can
ask
of
a
gym.
It
also
has
an
extremely
dark,
dimly
lit
pool
which
looks
more
like
a
sensory
deprivation
tank
for
a
whale
than
a
well-lit
swimming
arena,
but
it
is
an
ostensibly
clean
and
well-run
pool
nonetheless.
Now,
the
worst
part
of
all.
The
pricing
is
exorbitant
for
how
small
the
gym
is
which
also
makes
no
sense.
When
measured
against
its
immediate
competitors,
this
tiny
gym
is
now
£89.99
a
month
when
PureGym
and
The
Gym
Group
are
20-26
pounds
a
month
for
university-sized
gyms
with
multiple
locations
around
central
London
and
better
hours.
What
the
heck
is
the
cost
breakdown
to
justify
£89.99
a
month
for
a
gym
this
tiny
with
barely
any
staff?
I'd
love
to
hear
a
response
to
this
review
with
the
answer.
The
amalgamation
of
these
factors
leads
me
to
say:
there
are
so
many
better
options
out
there.
Save
yourself
the
suspiciously
high
pricing
and
join
a
different
gym.
